Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

Impacts of climate change on the potential distribution of Pulex simulans and Polygenis gwyni

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Pulex simulans and Polygenis gwyni are vectors of many flea‐borne diseases. We used the MaxEnt to predict the potential habitats of P. simulans and P. gwyni. Abstract Pulex simulans and Polygenis gwyni are vectors of many flea‐borne diseases. They were widely recorded in the United States and Mexico between 1970 and 2000.
